Hi, would anyone know if a Raymarine evo 100 autopilot with sea bus can be connected with Simrad NSS 8 via NMEA2000 to get chart plotter and gps info? Or is it better to keep the systems separate so if one dies they don't all die? Not sure it improves the autopilot operation to have GPS and speed info?
